Easier Reading in TurboTax for Tax Year 2007

TurboTax is easy-to-scan and read, which makes selecting options in TurboTax simple and fast.

TurboTax On Screen Lay Out

Like last year, the tabs at the top of TurboTax allow for navigating tax topic categories. This year, strategic attention to placement of images and clickable choices make using TurboTax even easier to use.

For example, choosing between two options for finding tax deductions is faster with bold titles, bulleted lists and a conversational tone throughout the tax interview. The example above shows the two options for going through tax deductions. Last year, the blue selection buttons were located at the bottom of the screen with a lot of white space above them. This year, TurboTax gives a quick general discussion of the topic which flows to short bulleted lists for each option then to the blue buttons to click for your selection.
